Human Hair Pigment: A Mild Isolation Procedure and a Method for Characterization
January 1981
Studysummary This paper describes an enzymatic method to isolate hair pigment from the keratin matrix without altering its chemical structure, but it presents no new results. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The document discussed a novel method for isolating hair pigment from the keratin matrix using enzymatic digestion, which was different from previous methods. This approach aimed to preserve the chemical structure of the pigment during isolation. The study was conducted by researchers at Laboratoires de Recherches L’Oréal in France and was published in 1981.
